ALPHA BROTHERS AND ONE TIME RIVALS.

2010    THE YEAR OF VALLEY ADVENTURES

 On November 2, 1961 a cross Valley football game took place between a new U.S. Grant High School (now in Valley Village) and long established Van Nuys High School. The Museum of the San Fernando Valley just received this "Official Program - 10¢" from Tom Ny in Bakersfield, California. Tom was Van Nuys fullback number 33.
The fun part of this program is that on the Grant High School varsity was right tailback Paul Craig number 75. These two rough and tumble rivals were destined within two years to become lifelong friends. allies and Phi Delta Psi Fraternity Brothers, while playing together for the L.A. Valley Monarchs.

Tom Ny, who played on the 1963 L.A. Valley College in the school's Homecoming Game against the Bakersfield Renegades, now lives and has an equipment rental business in Bakersfield. Tom's one time rival from Grant High School, was a part of this Valley College football game. 
Paul Craig, who now lives in Bend, Oregon, was a letterman for Valley College. He was an "all league" selection.

Br. TOMMY NY COMES ABOARD THE PHI DELTA PSI

Was Br. Tom Ny surprised by being accepted into the Phi Delta Psi Fraternity, or wasn't he? President Bob Sloan extends his welcome to Tom. Behind Br. Sloan is Br. Mike Rosenthal. In the background is Br. Gary Fredburg, running things as usual from behind the scenes.
